Rethinking College Student Retention
Drawing on studies funded by the Lumina Foundation, the nation's largest private foundation
focused solely on increasing Americans' success in higher education, the authors revise current
theories of college student departure, including Tinto's, making the important distinction between
residential and commuter colleges and universities, and thereby taking into account the role of
the external environment and the characteristics of social communities in student departure and
retention. A unique feature of the authors' approach is that they also consider the role that the
various characteristics of different states play in degree completion and first-year persistence.
First-year college student retention and degree completion is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional
problem, and the book's recommendations for state- and institutional-level policy and practice
will help policy-makers and planners at all levels as well as anyone concerned with institutional
retention rates 8213 and helping students reach their maximum potential for success 8213
understand the complexities of the issue and develop policies and initiatives to increase student
persistence.
